16 Non-Pumpkin DIY Fall Decorations You Can Make in a Weekend

By A Cultivated Nest Team

Quick, Easy, and Beautiful DIY Fall Decor Projects.

When the air turns crisp and the leaves begin their showy transformation, it’s tempting to fill our homes with pumpkins of every size and color. I’ll be the first to admit that pumpkins star in much of my fall decorating. But autumn is about so much more than gourds, like golden wheat, clusters of acorns, dried leaves, and all the cozy, rustic textures that mark the season. Timeless symbols like corn husks, warm wood, and jewel-toned florals can give your home that autumnal magic, with or without the classic pumpkin motif. To help get you inspired, here are 16 Non-Pumpkin DIY Fall Decorations You Can Make in a Weekend!
